fighting against the proposed cuts to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program
Assessments
The verified commitment is to fight proposed cuts to HOME and NeighborWorks. Verified evidence shows DeLauro was fighting against the proposed HOME cuts, supporting effort attributable to her. However, the verified outcome passages only establish a general continuing appropriations law and FY2027 funding through December 11, 2026; they do not specifically verify that HOME and NeighborWorks cuts were blocked, nor do they verify DeLauro's material role in any enacted funding outcome. Without verified program-specific outcome and candidate-contribution evidence, delivery or partial credit is not supported.
DeLauro’s promise was to keep fighting proposed federal cuts to HOME and NeighborWorks and protect affordable housing and homeownership opportunities. The evidence shows she was actively opposing the proposed reductions during the FY2026 appropriations process, and the final enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 funded HOME at $1.25 billion and NeighborWorks at $158 million, indicating the threatened cuts were not adopted. Because she was still serving in federal office and was the lead Democrat on Appropriations during the relevant budget fight, this is best scored as delivered in the same term rather than merely an attempt.
The evidence shows DeLauro clearly made a serious effort to oppose proposed cuts to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and NeighborWorks, including public advocacy in her role on Appropriations. However, the record provided does not establish the decisive outcome of that fight. Multiple sources confirm that FY2026 appropriations were enacted and that cuts or elimination were proposed, but the supplied evidence does not show whether the final enacted law ultimately preserved, reduced, or eliminated funding for HOME and NeighborWorks. Because the promise was to keep fighting against cuts and protect these programs, her effort is documented, but delivery cannot be credited without proof that the cuts were actually blocked or protection secured.
